<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I have an issue re-kickstarting RHEL 4 servers when I need to redploy
them. I have HP Linux servers that the CCISS raid controller (came out of
Compaq). The disk presented by this raid controller should up as /dev/cciss/c#d#.
If I have the systems connected to SAN storage then they show up as /dev/sd[a,
b,c, etc.]. If I try to kickstart a HP server that has SAN devices already
zoned to it the kickstart process fails with “Input/output error during
write on /dev/sda” error. Does anyone know what could be the
problem and how to address. I’m would like to eleminate having to
disconnecting the fiber connections or unzoning luns.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
